Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The last time we met, I didn't get the opportunity to introduce my motion, because we had spent time on committee business. I actually had two of them, but some members may be relieved to know that one of them likely won't be needed.
The motion I wish to put forward reads as follows:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(1)(a), an order of the committee be issued for a copy of all relevant documents relating to federal-provincial bilateral agreements on infrastructure, including the 2018 Canada – Quebec Integrated Bilateral Agreement for the Investing In Canada Infrastructure Program; That these documents include, but are not limited to: (i) all communications, including letters, e‑mails, text messages and messages on internal messaging software (Skype, Teams, Messenger, etc.), between the offices of the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance, and with the governments of Quebec, the provinces and territories; (ii) all communications, including letters, e‑mails, text messages and messages on internal messaging software (Skype, Teams, Messenger, etc.), between the office of the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities and Infrastructure Canada officials and the Intergovernmental Affairs Secretariat; (iii) all communications, including letters, e‑mails, text messages and messages on internal messaging software (Skype, Teams, Messenger, etc.), between Infrastructure Canada officials and the Intergovernmental Affairs Secretariat; (iv) documents that track or show changes and differences in bilateral agreements between the federal government, Quebec, the provinces and territories; (v) all versions of the terms and conditions of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program, the Gas Tax Fund (now the Community-Building Fund), the Community-Building Fund, the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund, the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund and the 2014 New Building Canada Fund, along with the dates for which said versions were in effect, as well as Treasury Board submissions for the approval of the aforementioned program terms and conditions; (vi) the final records of meetings of the management committees, management sub-committee and monitoring committee for the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program, the Gas Tax Fund (Community-Building Fund), the Community-Building Fund, the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund, the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund and the 2014 New Building Canada Fund; (vii) the final and administrative versions of amendments signed by Quebec, the provinces and territories; (viii) relevant notes, documents and memos; and That these documents be provided to the committee in unredacted form within 30 calendar days of the adoption of this order.
Mr. Chair, I don't know if I need to read the entire text of the amendment, since everyone has received a copy. I could go on, but I think everyone understood what I was talking about. The intent of this motion is indeed that the documents be provided to the committee in unredacted form within 30 calendar days of the adoption of this order.
